FOOLISH FIGLEAVES?, Pornography in--and out of--Court

touching upon the trials and tribulations of such porn-/obscenity-world notables as Ralph Ginzburg, Sam Roth, Allen Ginsberg and Lenny Bruce, among others, the author (from the front flap): "gives an incisive--and lively--view of pornography and the fantastic confusion engulfing efforts to restrain it. The book's reasoned valuation of the pros and cons of censorship is antidoctrinaire: it questions alike the stridence of the bluenoses and the extremism of self-proclaimed liberals."; green cloth w/gilt lettering, 368 pgs. incl. Acknowledgements/Notes/Index; some sunning to spine tips, a hint of corner wear, in dj w/slightly sunned spine, light edgewear, a bit of wear to corners/spine ends;
